About Mary
Mary Geiger is a licensed counselor and marriage and family therapist in Montana. She brings 14 years of experience helping people with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and trauma. Mary speaks English and works with adults, adolescents, children, and families in her independent practice and correctional settings.
She focuses on practical tools that people can use day to day. Sessions often start by identifying immediate concerns and what a person wants to change.
Background and approach
From there she and the client pick techniques that match those goals and build a clear plan to try between sessions. Mary uses several well-known approaches, including cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work.
She adapts these methods to the situation at hand and explains each step in plain language so people know what to expect. Her background includes work in a Department of Corrections program where she provides substance use and mental health treatment for people with felony DUI cases. That experience has informed her work with addiction, trauma, and co-occurring mood concerns.
In the office she aims for an empathetic, straightforward style. She helps people address relationship and family problems, parenting stress, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, and issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood symptoms, and intimacy concerns. Mary emphasizes collaboration and practical change that fits each person's life.
Practical approaches for online care
Mary uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT often involves small experiments and concrete skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage mood swings.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters most and take committed steps toward those values even when difficult feelings appear. This approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will discuss options and tailor techniques to each person’s goals and day-to-day needs. The first sessions are often spent deciding which methods to emphasize and how to adapt them to the client’s situation.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, shorter updates, or when someone prefers writing to talk.
These online options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep work on skills between sessions. Mary will help choose formats that match a person’s routine and therapeutic goals.
